Passive: typical errors

We don’t form passive structures with intransitive verbs:

She died.

Not: She was died.

We don’t form passive structures with verbs that describe states:

Those shoes don’t suit the dress.

Not: The dress isn’t suited by those shoes.

We use the past form of be + born to talk about someone’s birth:

She was born at home.

Not: She is born at home.
